I've heard it said that in any given congregation,
20% of the members are the 'workers', or the
'movers and shakers' so to speak--while the
rest enjoy the benefits. I have never sat down
and proven or disproven that statistic in our local
assembly...I'll leave all that stuff up to God! As a
pastors wife, I find a way to love them all...but I've
got to say that some just make it SO easy!!!! Tonight
was one of those nights when I looked around and my
heart burst with gratefulness and love.
It is the beginning of our cherry season, which in other
words, it's the beginning of our 'sacrificial season'. Precious
saints that work all week, reserve 4-6 of their weekends
*in a row* for one thing...to work for God's Kingdom.
***Asking nothing in return.***
Tonight I was so touched when I saw each of them coming
in after a long hot day of cherry selling. They unloaded their
trucks, and then moved into the sanctuary for our weekly
all church hour of prayer. My heart burst with pride and love
and gratefulness. These faithful saints are heroes in my eyes.
They are the ones who make FMT shine. They are the ones
that make FMT what it is.
Thank you Lord for giving us these precious, faithful saints...
And now you know why my love for them is SO deep and my
bond with them SO strong!!!! =D
